Writing support for current undergraduate students
The UC Davis Writing Center helps undergraduate students — across all majors, skill levels and during any stage of the writing process — establish and improve their understanding of academic writing. We also help with personal statements, graduate school and other applications, professional documents, honors theses, research posters and oral presentations. In fact, we can help with just about any project you are working on!
Students can meet with a trained peer writing consultant at any stage of the writing process. Peer writing consultants can help writers brainstorm ideas, strengthen claims and evidence, expand ideas and polish final drafts. Unsure of assignment expectations? No problem — peer consultants can help break down assignment sheets and professor feedback. Peer consultants can also help students navigate new writing situations and genres. We know writing can cause some anxiety, so we have strategies to help mitigate anxiety and promote sustainable writing practices.
We provide current students with
- One-on-one consulting
- Workshops and seminars
- Writing groups
- Group and individual study space
- Writing partnerships (recurring appointments with the same consultant)
